My Students

Working in a Title I school can be very challenging, especially to our students who are in temporary housing, travel far distances to attend school, and are in foster care. In my Integrated Co-Teaching classroom, it is imperative to tap into the different learning styles of each student through visuals, technology, dialogue, and more. However, with minimal resources, it can be difficult.

My students want to be able to learn in a classroom that has flexible learning styles and accessible materials to work towards their goals.

They enjoy being able to use different techniques and strategies throughout their learning. My goal, as their teacher, is to inspire them to be the best they can be and to create a positive and safe environment for learning.

My Project

Now that we are in a remote world, students are constantly using iPads, tablets, or other devices in the classroom and at home. Students are able to use educational resources at the tips of their fingers constantly. But what happens when they forget to charge their devices before school?

Providing a charging station for students will allow them to use their devices in the classroom.

If students forget to charge their devices, or lose their charger they will still be able to participate in activities that involves technology in the classroom!
